Title: Diterpenes and diterpene quinones from the roots of Salvia apiana
Abstract: The new natural diterpenes, 6,7-didehydroferruginol, 6,7-didehydrosempervirol, 16-hydroxy-6,7-didehydroferruginol, 11,12,16-trihydroxy-20(10 → 5)abeo-abieta-1(10),6,8,11,13-pentaene, the diterpene quinones, 16-hydroxyroyleanone and 6-deoxo-5,6-didehydrolanugon Q plus the known compounds ferruginol, miltiodiol, cryptotanshinone, lanugon Q and salvicanol were isolated from the roots of Salvia apiana. Their structures were established by spectrometry. The co-occurrence of so many abietane diterpenes with different degrees of oxidation and modified skeletons is in accordance with the biosynthetic route previously proposed for these compounds.
